Definitely Cypress on the darker green color. Picture is a bit washed out - first image looks looks a bit like beryl, but the lugs are bit too dark for it - 2nd looks more like pine green. Those are the only 44mm bands of that shade (other than cactus - which i have low confidence it is)
I agree on Cyprus. I think the other is Pine. The picture is a bit overexposed, which is causing both bands to look lighter than in reality.
 
Dropped by the Apple Store on my way home yesterday (picked up Summit White/Black Nike band, to go with my Black/Black), and had a look at the new ones they had. Purple Fog and Sprout Green solos are both winners, and so is Sky Blue band. Also liked Olive more than I expected. I’ll be getting them soon, but for the moment am prioritising the ones that we might see fade out before long - last year’s sport loops and Nikes. (Also because it’s autumn here so getting spring colours isn’t hugely relevant.)
 
The yellow stripe is way less pronounced than what I thought it would be. I think I may have to keep it!

OK. I want to help out those thinking about the new Bright Orange color. I think it's quite a beautiful orange and my dad really likes his.

It looks like Hermes Orange (left) and Marigold (right) went ahead and had a baby (top: Bright Orange). This color is darker than Marigold, less milky. But not as strong and bold as the Hermes Orange. Hermes Orange can be luxurious but darker and moodier and a little too much imo. Which is why Hermes Orange is my least worn band.

Bright Orange evokes slight attention, but in a happy, calm way.

If you're not a color fanatic, and want a good orange, I do recommend Bright Orange. From far way, it actually looks Hermes.

Here is my spring/ summer rotation. Lemon Zest, Sky, Cantaloupe.

My favorite colors are always pastel colors (just think decorating a baby room, I love all the possible choices). Pink Sand is of course one of my all time favorites.

So I've decided to keep Sky. It's happier than Blue Fog and although I don't know what to do with Blue Fog right now, I figured one more band will never hurt anyone. ;););)

(In the sunlight, Sky is elegant, graceful, and just delightful).

While there are more AW added , my old problem with the color-matching red and blue bands remains. As for red, I'm pretty happy now with how Rose Red goes with the red S7. In my opinion the best band for it. But I'm not quite satisfied with the blue S7. Blue Horizon is currently my favorite but still a bit too dark. Could Ocean Blue be a little "paler" than Blue Horizon and worth a try and the search for it? 🤔

By the way, if someone is in contact with Tim Cook, someone could ask him about the tiresome „five watches per iPhone limit“ 🙄🙈

A quite impressive watch collection. Love the way you display them.

Two more and we’re even 😋.
But I would definitely like to see the limit of 5 being raised just as much as you do.
So it’s a good idea to ask Tim to do something about it. Maybe send him a message via Twitter that 5 just won’t do for some people…..

just a few.
 
Could anyone who has them both do me a direct comparison of Denim Blue v Royal Blue?

I have Denim and it's a decent match for my Blue Jay silicone phone case, but I'm debating if Royal Blue might be better (though finding a Royal Blue for sale anywhere appears difficult!).
